About GPS navigation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a constellation of 32 satellites that enable
a GPS receiver to calculate its geographical position.
For a sufficiently precise positioning it is necessary to obtain the data from at least
three satellites. With the data from 4 or more satellites the altitude above sea level can
also be ascertained. The positioning has an accuracy of about 3 yards.
Geographical terrain (such as mountains), man-made structures (such as highway

overpasses, bridges and tall buildings), and even weather can interfere with or disrupt
the GPS signal.
Once the navigation device has determined your position, it can be used as a starting
point for route calculation.
The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical coordinates of all
digitally recorded Points Of Interest (POIs), streets and places. This enables the
device to calculate a route between a starting point and a destination.
The calculation of the current position and its representation on the map takes place
once every second so your current position is always shown on the map.
If GPS reception is impaired, navigation is interrupted but the navigation software
remains active. As soon as GPS reception is restored, the navigation system calcu-
lates any change of position which has occurred in the meantime and navigation may
simply be continued.
Caution! The United States government operates the Global Positioning System
(GPS) and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Changes by the
United States government may affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment, including your personal navigation device.
Caution! Ordinances or laws may restrict use of certain abilities of your navigation
device on public or private land.

Basic Operations
Initializing the GPS receiver
Note: If possible, position the device with a clear line of sight to the sky to successfully
receive messages from the GPS satellites.
Note: GPS initialization requires data from at least three satellites. If GPS data is not
available, the receiver will not initialize.
Note: It can take up to 20 minutes to initialize the integrated GPS receiver for the first
time.
Note: Each time you turn on the device, GPS receiver initialization begins. When GPS
data is available, reception starts within one minute.
If the navigation device has been switched to standby for more than a week, the next ini-
tialization can take up to 10 minutes.
In the upper right-hand corner of the display, the GPS symbol appears. As soon as
data from at least 3 satellites is received, the symbol changes to (GPS Ready).
Note: If the GPS symbol displays GPS Ready after considerably less than 20 min-
utes, it is advisable to leave the receiver switched on for at least an additional 15 min-
utes to ensure reliable operation.
Caution! The GPS receiver requires a constant supply of power. Leaving the device
plugged into your cigarette lighter for a longer period with the vehicle turned off could
drain the vehicle battery.

the screen, next to the battery, traffic, and GPS icons. The icon disappears when the
volume mute is turned off.

Basic Operations
Using Standby Mode

Note: Use Standby mode only when your device will be unused for a very short time. If
left in Standby mode for an extended period, battery drain can occur as the GPS
receiver continues to draw power. For longer periods of inactivity, see “Turning off the
NAVIGON 2100 max | 2120 max” on page 26.
Note: To further conserve battery power, the device resets itself if left in Standby mode
for a longer time.
